ARLINGTON — After the Cowboys beat Miami, 20-19, on Thursday, wide receiver Laurent Robinson was surrounded by a swarm of media in the home locker room after catching two more touchdown passes.

It marked Robinson’s fifth consecutive game with a touchdown pass from quarterback Tony Romo. It’s the longest streak of Robinson’s career and the longest by a Cowboys wide receiver since Terrell Owens had a streak of seven in 2007. It was Robinson’s second two-touchdown game of his career. Robinson has caught a touchdown pass from Romo inside the 10-yard line in four consecutive games, helping to energize the Cowboys’ red zone offense that sputtered early in the season.

“I’m just happy about the opportunity and I’m trying to take advantage of it,” Robinson said. “Me and Tony have a good connection going. He’s finding me and I’m trying to make a play on it.”

Robinson’s seven touchdowns over the previous five games is tied for the third-highest figure over that span in club history. Terrell Owens (2007) owns the top spot with nine in five games (done three times that season).

Robinson has been targeted 23 times over the last two games by Romo (11 vs. Washington on Sunday and 12 vs. Miami on Thursday) It’s the first time this season that a Cowboys player has had double-digit targets in back-to-back games.

In comparison, Dez Bryant has been targeted 22 times over the Cowboys’ last five games. For the year, Bryant has been targeted 41 times in 10 games.

“We’re just excited,” Robinson said of the Cowboys. “We’re rolling right now.”
